clutch issues

[0mental0]

Hey all,
I am returning after being gone for a while, sorry for that. Anyways, I still have the 1982 GS1100E. Thanks to a certain family member it needs a clutch replacement. I ordered the plates, but I found out it has 10 plates. I have read some posts here and I found that '83 was the only year this was used. The kit I used was the EBC CK3335, I believe, which has only 9 plates. My clutch will not disengage. I know it is most likely due to adjustment, or plates stuck together. Will the 9 clutch plates work properly? Could there be any other things I may have overlooked? Thank you for your time.

Coulda had a Barnett kit installed. Thats what I did but the thin plates ate up my basket. Id stick with the stock set-up. Im using Fast By Gast fibers in mine. Seems to work pretty good.

Here is the clutches used by the fast guys; http://aperaceparts.com/mailers/trackingclutches.html

I've found Barnett "extra plate" clutches in two bikes that were causing problems. I guess this was a common thing to do in the '80s. The problem is that the thinner plates chew up the basket and the extra plate creates a lot of extra oil drag.

If you can post up photos of the clutch plates, I'm sure the GSR Hive Mind can ID whether they're stock or Barnett or whatever.

Thank you guys for the info. I cannot post pics, they were recycled last week, but I started the bike yesterday and threw it in gear. Bike didn't move. I think the clutch is correct! Go ME! (first bike clutch). Now on to the carbs?!
